rising director

The taxi started on the road, and Su Ya didn't go back until the car disappeared at the corner.

……

After the festival, civil servants went to work one after another, and Wan Xiaohu also sent "Infernal Affairs" for review as soon as possible, and then discussed with the film group about introducing it to the mainland.Talking with the movie went smoothly, the success of "Butterfly Effect" made Wan Xiaohu different from what it used to be, and his movies naturally made people flock to them.

However, there was a problem with the audit.

Because of its criminal involvement, "Infernal Affairs" was rejected in the first review, and a large number of scenes needed to be deleted.

For this reason, Wan Xiaohu had to contact Han Sanye urgently and ask Han Sanye to intercede.

Once and twice, treat guests to dinner, and time is wasted on arguing.

One day without review, the mainland is not convenient for large-scale publicity for one day, so we can only make small noises and release the news that "Infernal Affairs" will be released first.And Wan Xiaohu knew the last trajectory, "Infernal Affairs" was delayed for more than a year before it was released. At that time, pirated discs were flying all over the mainland and failed at the box office.

Therefore, Wan Xiaohu wants to have the mainland and Hong Kong release simultaneously. If the mainland's schedule cannot be determined, Hong Kong cannot be determined.

"Han Sanye, is Radio and Television still not letting go?"

"The bite is tight, it's a bit difficult, Xiaohu, or you can modify the plot of the movie."

"Han Sanye, let me just say it. I spent a lot of energy on this movie. I really can't cut it. If it can't be released without cutting it, I would rather not release it in the mainland. Han Sanye, you have a lot of means, so you can help Help, you have seen the movie, there are no political issues, let the radio and television stop getting stuck."

"Hey, it's hard for me to do the work at the top... I'll try my best, wait for my news."

After hanging up the phone, Wan Xiaohu had a terrible headache. It was already March day, and the file could not be set yet.If the file cannot be fixed, the publicity will not be able to be launched. After all, the mainland has implemented a theater chain system this month, which is to release movies according to the schedule. The release of the movie must be arranged at least a few months in advance. .

If it doesn't pass the trial, "Infernal Affairs" will be squeezed out of the summer slot, and it's still earning a lot of money at the box office!

"Damn it! Broadcasting and TV are all idle, it's boring not to come out at the hour, right!" Wan Xiaohu looked out the window.

Suddenly, Wan Xiaohu picked up the phone and called the director of the public relations department: "The media released news that "Infernal Affairs" may be banned in the mainland, and the plot involves internal problems in the police system..."

After explaining, Wan Xiaohu laughed as he put the phone back to its original position.

There has always been a saying in Chinese movies that if it is not banned, it is not a good movie. Zhang Yimou's "To Live" and Jiang's "Ghost is Coming" were all banned, and they became famous because of the ban. curious.Since grandiose propaganda cannot be carried out, we can only find another way and use some small means.

"You forced me!"

0179【The Capture Review Committee】

Regardless of whether it is domestic or foreign, as long as it wants to be released in the mainland, the radio and television company has the power of life and death over the film. Whether it can be released or not, and how to cut it, must obtain the permission of the radio and television station.Of course, for a system as large as Radio and Television, it is an organization that really has the say in the life and death of movies.

National Film Censorship Board.

The members of this committee are not all officials from the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, but come from all walks of life. The composition is relatively diverse, except for special appointments from the Ministry of Education, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the Propaganda and Education Department of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, and the Information Office of the Supreme People's Court. In addition to the committee members, there are scholars and film directors from the Communication University of China, the Beijing Film Academy, and the Academy of Arts of the People's Republic of China.

Therefore, while Han Sanye went to the public relations to go through the trial, Wan Xiaohu arranged for the media to release news, saying that "Infernal Affairs" might be banned, so as to gain attention.On the other side, they are planning another thing, which is to submit "Infernal Affairs" as their graduation work.

Nortel is a non-traditional university. The basis for the graduation of directing students is not how many points you get in the written test, but how many points you get for the movies you make.Graduate students need to submit a film as their graduation work, and college graduates need to submit short films. After all, it is unrealistic for college students to make movies.

Of course, if you have the ability, it is also possible to make a high-level film as a graduation project.

Wan Xiaohu submitted "Infernal Affairs" as a graduation project request to the director of Nortel's director department.He graduated this month, and now submitting ahead of schedule, he naturally hopes to use Nortel's internal influence to put pressure on the National Film Censorship Committee.

After clarifying the meaning, Xie Jin, the dean of the department, immediately agreed.

"Okay, I'll organize the school teachers to grade your graduation work. As long as you can get more than 80 points, I will personally go to the committee members' homes for you."

"Thank you leader."

Zheng Dongtian, the director of Nortel, was a member of the committee. After receiving a call from Xie Jin, he rushed back to school to participate in the film scoring.Before the judging of the movie started, Zheng Dongtian and Wan Xiaohu had a brief chat.

"Little Tiger. This time the committee discussed more intensely. Although I appreciate your film and support it to be released in the Mainland, many people have different opinions."

"Mr. Zheng, what is your opinion? This movie of mine should not slander or smear the image of mainland China, nor should there be any political differences. Is it because it involves the underworld?"

Zheng Dongtian stretched out his hand to stroke his gray hair, and said: "Now the judges are more concerned about the content of gangsters, and we have already refuted the idea of ​​gangsters. Now the judges mean that the theme of the movie is not positive, and the villain is still alive. .Good people die, which goes against our traditional moral values.”

"However, the idea of ​​"Infernal Affairs" originally meant that the dead are liberated, and the living continue to suffer inner torment, just like falling into an endless hell. This theme is still exaggerating justice and whipping evil."

"I understand, but it's a pity that not everyone understands." Zheng Dongtian also felt a little bit emotional, "Many judges still keep their consciousness on the past concepts of black and white, good and evil. It is not easy to convince them Xie Jin told me that this time we will rate the movie, and I personally like "Infernal Affairs" very much. As long as the teachers agree, I will spare no effort to help you promote it."

"Thank you, teacher."

On March 3, a copy of "Infernal Affairs" was sent to Nortel for teachers to grade Wan Xiaohu's graduation work.It takes a whole afternoon of discussion time, and the results will be announced in the school the next day. If the results pass, Wan Xiaohu will be able to graduate from Nortel.certainly.Wan Xiaohu also plans to continue his postgraduate study at Nortel.

The wait is long, Wan Xiaohu can only go to Quan Zhixian, flirt with him, and have fun at night.

the next day.Wan Xiaohu came to Nortel early.

After class starts in the morning, the school will officially announce the results of Wan Xiaohu's graduation work, and broadcast the announcement to the whole school.

"Hey, you're a little restless. Are you concerned about the film's rating?" While waiting, Wan Xiaohu and Quan Zhixian gathered in Chen Chong's dormitory, which was Wan Xiaohu's dormitory back then.Quan Zhixian watched Wan Xiaohu make a lot of mistakes in playing eighty points, so he couldn't help asking.

Chen Chong despised Wan Xiaohu for a moment: "I usually see you as a coward, but sometimes you are nervous."

Wan Xiaohu drew out a card, and then argued: "Am I nervous? How is it possible? It's just a grade. If you pass, you can graduate. I'm still worried about failing the movie?"

"That's not necessarily true. Radio and TV will not pass the review for you, and maybe the teachers will not pass you. Whatever "Infernal Affairs" is filmed, the name is awkward." A student who is also in the directing department joked sourly.

Holding a teacup, Xu Ying put her arms around Jun Ji-hyun, was also looking at the cards, and said, "Didn't the tiger say it? This movie is an art style, so the name can't be too white, like "My Sassy Girlfriend" is too straightforward, or "My Sassy Girlfriend" Waiting Alone" sounds better."

"It's nice but not obvious. The more straightforward the name, the more it can arouse the audience's desire to watch the movie."

"Hey, hey, don't talk, the school radio is ringing."

Everyone stopped the cards in their hands and began to listen carefully to the school's announcement.

Wan Xiaohu frowned, saying that he was not nervous would be a lie. He only shot a short film in the last track, and he passed the pass so-so, which he always regretted. It is a great regret to commemorate the work.

This time, I hope to make up for the regret and leave a trace of "I have flown"!

"...After the collective research of the Directing Department of Beijing Film Academy, Wan Xiaohu's graduation work "Infernal Affairs" obtained a perfect score of 98 and was allowed to graduate! Classmates, let us congratulate Wan Xiaohu. The first graduate work for college students, with full marks, will be recorded in the history of Nortel..."

"ES!" Wan Xiaohu clenched his fist vigorously.

"Tiger, amazing, full marks!"

"Brother Tiger is mighty!"

"[-] points, did I hear correctly?"

"Brother Hu can breathe a sigh of relief now, Nortel University is [-] points, if the movie can't pass the review, it's anti-humanity!"

There were many students in the dormitory who had a good relationship with Wan Xiaohu at the beginning, and they all expressed their congratulations at the moment.

"Haha, thank you for your affirmation. Take your time and I'll go find the leader. Wuda Hotel, I'm treating you all. Come."
